Helen Skelton releases unseen footage as she addresses 'problem' at start of Springtime On The Farm

Helen Skelton has shown fans footage they were supposed to see last night after Springtime on the Farm didn't air due to a technical issue.

Channel 5 apologised to viewers yesterday (Tuesday, April 11) as it announced there was a technical issue with broadcasting the first episode of the series at 8pm. It was later announced the episode would be available on demand and the second episode would air as normal.

Helen tweeted a video before the second episode aired, saying: "What you should have seen last night included this..." The video showed her and one of her co-presenters laughing as an animal spits in their direction.

Jules Hudson also addressed the technical problems, tweeting: "Oops! Slight technical hitch on last night’s start to Springtime on the Farm, so please catch up on @My5_tv, and join us tonight at 8pm for the second of our 8-show Spring Farming Festival!"

The fault with the precious day's episode was briefly addressed by the continuity announcer before the second episode, which went ahead as normal tonight otherwise. It featured, among many other things, Helen meeting ducklings and vet Peter Wright checking over a pregnant horse.

JLS star JB Gill also joined to explore how couple Tenesia and Danny Pascal left city life behind to grow their own crops on a farm. JB owns his own farm where he lives with his family.

Fans were happy to see the show back and airing as normal, with many tweeting to say the animals were adorable.
